Your really pretty but...

1. It looks to glamorous/model-y. especially with your hair blown back.

2. You look plastic. Seems over photoshopped to me.

3. This is just a suggestion but I think your eyebrows are a little too thin. I'm not nit-picking. I just think it would look better with your face if you had bolder brows.

You have beautiful eyes and teeth.

Just to endure is a triumph.

It's a painting, isn't it. If the actual "photo" looks anything like this image, you won't be fooling anyone.

Okay. Now let's see what you REALLY look like because THAT looks like a computer generated image.

That picture is so ridiculously photoshopped that you dont even look real anymore. I know we all want to look better than we really do but this is the Michael Jackson of headshots.

Teeth too white, skin too plastic, etc. etc.

I have a personality. Don't care if it's a fallacy.

As others have said, the photo does seem far too retouched.

IMO, the wind-blown hair doesn't serve you terribly well and I find the shadow on the back wall distracting.

If you have to put off getting new shots done, I would at least see if you can get a less-retouched version of this shot to hold you over.

Best of luck to you!

Yes, I agree with Andrew. Go back to the original RAW file and have someone with a lighter photoshop touch finish it. Photoshop should be used to make your finished shot more natural ... this clearly goes way over the top.

Best,

Ron
